The Mission of the Windsor Downtown Alliance FOSTERING COMMUNITY & PROSPERITY

BY BEN HANEY

COMPANY: WINDSOR DOWNTOWN

ALLIANCE

ESTABLISHED: 2011

BUSINESS MISSION:

Promote The Downtown, Protect The Character and Resources Of Downtown, Support Business and Development, Enhance The Experience of Patrons Enjoying Downtown

ADDRESS: 400 Main Street, Suite A, Windsor

WEBSITE: www.windsordda.com/

With a rapidly increasing population, Windsor is a testament to the power of community and the vital role a vibrant downtown plays in the life of its residents. At the forefront of this vision is the Windsor Downtown Alliance (WDA), led by Executive Director Michelle Vance. The Alliance’s mission is multifaceted but clear: to promote the downtown area, protect its character and resources, support business and development, and enhance the experience of patrons enjoying downtown. With a clear vision to help the local community grow and prosper, the WDA seeks to create a vibrant downtown for Windsor

PROMOTING DOWNTOWN WINDSOR

The WDA has seen remarkable progress in promoting downtown Windsor as a hub of economic and social activity “We have had over $13 million of private investment, and 17 new facades,” Vance shares, highlighting the tangible results of their efforts This rejuvenation has not only elevated the area but also significantly contributed to the local economy, making downtown Windsor

a coveted location for businesses. The Hearth building alone, valued at over $11 million per acre, stands as a beacon of the area ’ s economic vitality

PROTECTING WINDSOR’S CHARACTER

Protection of Windsor’s downtown character goes hand in hand with its promotion Vance and her team, in collaboration with Colorado Main Street and the Town of Windsor Historic Preservation Commission, strike a delicate balance between preserving historical buildings and embracing new developments This approach ensures that the downtown area retains its unique charm while accommodating modern needs and opportunities

SUPPORTING BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT

The WDA’s support for local businesses is evident as well, with a downtown occupancy rate of 99% “We have a long list of businesses that want to locate in downtown,” Vance proudly states, attributing this demand to the area ’ s desirability and the Alliance’s supportive

initiatives Through fostering an environment where businesses thrive, the WDA directly contributes to the community’s economic health and social vibrancy.

ENHANCING THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE

Enhancing the experience for those who visit and enjoy downtown Windsor is a cornerstone of the WDA’s mission Vance highlights the role of community events in attracting residents and visitors alike, with activities ranging from Wine Walks to the Windsor Harvest Parade These events not only draw people into the downtown area but also foster a sense of community and belonging

DRAWING LESSONS FROM URBAN THEORISTS

The philosophy behind the WDA’s efforts resonates with the teachings of Jane Jacobs and Saskia Sassen Jacobs’ emphasis on “ eyes on the street” and the importance of community involvement in urban development echoes in Windsor’s thriving downtown, where safety, cleanliness, and preservation are prioritized Similarly, Sassen’s work on the global city and the critical role of urban centers in cultural diversity and economic innovation is reflected in Windsor’s approach to fostering a dynamic, inclusive downtown area.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, the Windsor Down-

town Alliance is committed to further enhancing the downtown experience while preserving the area ’ s unique character. Plans for a Downtown Master Plan, including the creation of community plazas and pedestrianfriendly spaces, promise to continue the transformation of Windsor into a model of urban excellence. “Our job is to have a downtown for all,” Vance explains, envisioning a future where Windsor’s historic charm and modern vibrancy coexist in harmony

BUILDING STRONGER, HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES

The Windsor Downtown Alliance’s work underlines a powerful truth: supporting small businesses and promoting healthy downtown areas are crucial steps toward building stronger,

more connected communities

By focusing on the needs and aspirations of its residents, Windsor is paving the way for a future where downtown areas are not just economic centers, but the heart and soul of the community As Windsor continues to grow and evolve, the Windsor Downtown Alliance remains a steadfast guardian of its vibrant downtown, ensuring it remains a place of prosperity, joy and communal pride for generations to come

f there’s one thing that’s predictable about the weather in Colorado, it’s just how unpredictable it can be Our stunning state isn’t shy when it comes to reaching for extremes.

Here in Northern Colorado, snow squalls can catch you off guard any time of year; arctic wintry conditions contrast with blazing heat, sometimes within a matter of days All this means reliable heating and cooling systems are a far cry from luxury keeping them in strong working order is critical.

go-to source for home comfort In addition to installing heating and air conditioning equipment of all sizes, including commercial heating and air conditioning equipment for businesses, the company also installs and services water heaters and indoor air quality products while further providing all the services to help maintain smooth, efficient operations. This includes maintenance plans and prompt repairs when needed.

“Taking care of your HVAC system is much like maintaining a vehicle,” says McCreery & Sun Project Coordinator Jada Specht “You change your oil, rotate tires, check the battery. Similarly, your HVAC system will operate better and last longer with better efficiency if you give it regular care, making sure equipment is properly cleaned and maintained, filters are changed, etc ”

If maintaining your HVAC system sounds like one more thing too many, be assured McCreery & Sun makes it easy Many customers have technicians come to check their home systems twice a year, confident in the thorough, quality work and the peace of mind it brings. “We employ a multi-point inspection list, performed during our annual furnace and A/C tune-up appointments,” says Scott Butterworth, who co-owns McCreery & Sun with his wife, Michelle. “We inspect the heat exchangers, motor amp draws, gas pressures and airflow for proper operation. We review all the components to advise repairs Our aim is that no customer ever has to call

‘911’ with a heating or cooling emergency on the hottest or coldest day of the year ”

Founded in 1974 by James McCreery and business partner Don Ratliff, McCreery & Sun set out from day one to deliver the best in service When in 2014, McCreery began to look toward a welldeserved retirement, it wasn’t just anyone who could take over to uphold the legacy that

had been created, but Michelle and Scott Butterworth fit the bill to a tee

“James asked me if my husband and I would be interested in purchasing the company knowing I understood, respected and loved the principles it was founded on, ” says Michelle Butterworth, who had built a working relationship with McCreery and Ratliff while doing outside bookkeeping for twenty years “Generosity to community and excellent service were core

It goes without saying, the Butterworths and their team continued the legacy of service and then some Moreover, they demonstrate continuous commitment to improving, painstakingly investing in quality control and keeping up-to-date with the latest in training for technicians. “We put a lot of effort into training to achieve a 100% diagnosis and 100% resolution,” says Scott Butterworth. “We care, and we make sure our technicians can do the best possible job for you. ”

Since Michelle and Scott Butterworth purchased McCreery & Sun, they have become CCE (Certified Comfort Expert) Dealers for York, Diamond Dealers for Mitsubishi and have ensured their technicians are NATE

(North American Technician Excellence) certified. They’ve expanded services to include an impressive broad range, including residential and commercial HVAC/Heat Pumps, Mini Split Systems, Shop Heaters, Tube and Unit Heaters, Boilers, RTUs (rooftop units) and Air Purification servicing and installation of all brands

Being so diversified keeps a business busy, especially with the devotion to excellence that McCreery & Sun brings. They always find time to invest in the community wherever they can, too. They have been proud sponsors of the Greeley Independence Stampede for ten years. McCreery & Sun has also partnered with the Greeley Tribune for the “Wishes for Seniors” project, annually supporting seniors who could use a

little extra cheer during the holidays, for the past three years What keeps them going? “We love our customers and the local businesses in this warm, vibrant community,” says Michelle Butterworth. “We enjoy giving back where we can and giving our all to keep our customers comfortable in their homes.”
